What XSLT code do I need, to get my Quicktime video (picked using mediaCurrent in my macro), to display correctly?

The alias is "Video" and I've uploaded the .mov as a file in my Media section.

I'm using Umbraco version 4.3.

Here's the code I use to display the video:

<object classid="clsid:02bf25d5-8c17-4b23-bc80-d3488abddc6b" width="300" height="233" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab#version=6,0,2,0">
<param name="src" value="/media/85016/sample_itunes.mov" />
<param name="autoplay" value="true" /><embed type="video/quicktime" width="300" height="233" src="/media/85016/sample_itunes.mov" autoplay="true"></embed>
</object>

Here's my XSLT, what do I need to get the value of the video into the necessary "value" parameters?:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
   version="1.0" 
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
 xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
  xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltCommon="urn:Exslt.ExsltCommon" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltMath="urn:Exslt.ExsltMath" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions="urn:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltStrings="urn:Exslt.ExsltStrings" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltSets="urn:Exslt.ExsltSets" xmlns:memberGroupFunctions="urn:memberGroupFunctions" xmlns:UCommentLibrary="urn:UCommentLibrary" xmlns:tagsLib="urn:tagsLib" xmlns:BlogLibrary="urn:BlogLibrary"

<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

Hi,

Are you using 4.0.3?

First you'll need to add the parameter to your XSLT, above the <xsl:template> line:

<xsl:param name="media" select="/macro/yourMediaCurrentParameterAlias" />

Then you should be able to access the file like so:

<param name="src" value="{$media/node/data [@alias='umbracoFile']}"/>
.....
<embed type="video/quicktime" width="300" height="233" src="{$media/node/data [@alias='umbracoFile']}" autoplay="true"></embed>

You can also add parameters for height/width/etc if you like and use them the same way. ie height="{$heightParam}"

Also, if you need to enforce the </embed> tag to show instead of having the tag self-close, you can change the output method from "xml" to html" on the <xsl:output> tag.

Hope this helps,
Tom

Thanks Tom!

That is exactly what I needed. It's working perfectly now.

Here's my final XSLT:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
   version="1.0" 
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
 xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"

<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
<xsl:param name="media" select="/macro/Video" />
<xsl:template match="/">

<!-- start writing XSLT -->
<div style="margin-left:17px;">
